EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the late 19th century, we are transported to the grandeur of Petworth House in West Sussex. The image showcases a remarkable woman named Mrs M Ricketts, who was once employed as a laundry worker within the estate. Standing outside amidst towering trees and an ornate balustrade, Mrs Ricketts exudes an air of elegance that is synonymous with Edwardian fashion. Dressed in a stunning black bonnet and long dress, she epitomizes the style of her time. Her attire reflects both modesty and sophistication, capturing the essence of middle-aged women during this era. With her head held high and a hint of pride in her eyes, it is evident that Mrs Ricketts took great care in presenting herself impeccably. The photograph not only captures the beauty of its subject but also provides us with a glimpse into life at Petworth House during this period. The exquisite architecture serves as a backdrop to Mrs Ricketts' presence, emphasizing both her significance within the household and her connection to its history. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under Ref No: Kevis/1/R190 as part of the Walter Kevis Collection spanning c1876-1908, this image offers us an invaluable window into our past. It allows us to appreciate not only the splendor of Petworth House but also those individuals whose contributions often go unnoticed
